Ask "git grep -A14 'long def_ff' xdiff/" for details ;-)

This was an attempt to be compatible with stock behaviour of GNU
diff: a line that begins with an alpha, _ or $.

That indeed is unusual.  If the payload that was identified by the
find_func function has a funny escape sequence or something, you may
get funkiness like that in the output on the terminal, which we may
want to take notice and sanitize in xdl_emit_hunk_hdr(), instead of
straight memcpy() there, but I do not see how that would be an issue
in a css source.
